Supercheap normally does a half price Penrite special around Boxing day / Australia day, so I stock up for the year, for filters I go to Veale, usually $8-$10.
Veale is wild, none of the corporate flogs can compete with him in WA on price or customer service, because the corporates are money hungry pole smokers who want to charge up the *** and provide less - the corporates can't get their head around why they have limited success in WA and how come Veale auto parts owns the market there

They do free local deliveries out of their branches for their local trade customers, and on 30 minute timelines, where as Burson wants to charge you to use their online catalogue or requires a minimum monthly spend with them to get it for 'free', back in my day it was $3000/month spend.

Hasn't seemed to expand outside of WA though, unless they have some SA presence but I'm not sure
